dsh-chat-zone
A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) web plugin that adds a one-click "Chat zone" to the sidebar.
Features
- A "Chat zone" button at the sidebar foot, next to Settings.
- New chat: one click creates
~/dsh_CHAT/<local date yyyy-mm-dd>/chatN (three folder levels), registers it as a DSH workspace, and opens a blank session bound to that folder. Numbering is max chatN + 1 for the day (chat1, chat3 → next is chat4; deleted numbers are not reused).
- History: the panel groups chat folders by date (newest first, chatN descending) and shows each folder's DSH session title. Clicking a chat continues that conversation (one conversation = one folder, 1:1).
- Sidebar layout (toggle in the Chat zone panel; default is Separate; preference is stored in
localStorage):
- Separate: chat workspaces under
~/dsh_CHAT are hidden from the Workspaces list, so their sessions land in Ungrouped at the bottom of the sidebar. Real project workspaces stay grouped.
- Together: original behavior — each chatN remains a workspace group mixed with projects.
- The official new-session workspace picker is untouched. No CLI, no delete/rename (use your file manager).
Install
For other people, this is the install command (web profile):
dsh plugin --profile web add github:lasdrder0705/dsh-chat-zone
Restart dsh web and refresh. A 对话区 / Chat zone button appears at the sidebar foot, next to Settings.
If the first add refuses the git prepare script (pnpm ≥10), copy the package key into that profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml:
allowBuilds:
dsh-chat-zone: true
and re-run add. This repo ships lib/, so the allowlist is usually unnecessary.
Other install paths:
# Local checkout (development)
dsh plugin --profile web add link:/absolute/path/dsh-chat-zone
# After an npm publish
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-chat-zone
Behavior contract
- Root is always
~/dsh_CHAT; date folders use the local timezone.
- Creation failures (permissions, read-only disk) surface as a red in-panel error with retry — never a silent fallback, never touching the current session.
- A concurrent creation race re-reads the day folder and bumps the number (bounded at 8 attempts).
- If a chatN folder somehow has several sessions, clicking opens the most recently updated one; if its session was removed, clicking restores the 1:1 invariant with a fresh bound session.
- A missing
~/dsh_CHAT shows the empty state; "New chat" creates the root on demand.
Development
pnpm install # or npm install
npm test # node:test — pure logic, fake-host orchestration, registration wiring, sidebar layout
npm run typecheck
npm run build # lib/index.js + lib/client.js + lib/types
npm run smoke # loads the built client bundle via a stubbed window.__ModuleLoader__
tsconfig.local.json / tsconfig.build.local.json are optional dev-machine overrides that
resolve @deepseek-ai/* types through paths against a local DeepSeek Harness checkout.
